The medicinal power contained in the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass had already been fully absorbed by Wang Li, giving him a one-time boost.
Wang Li stretched his body with effort:
"This feeling of vitality and strength is amazing. As expected, only by courting danger can one achieve the greatest gains."
He didn't know exactly how strong his body had become, but looking inward, he could see that his skin, fat, muscles, bones, limbs, and even internal organs all emitted a faint golden glow. Of course, this was only visible when he activated his soul power. Ice and fire could no longer harm him, and even the deadliest poisons had no effect. It seemed that under the refining of ice and fire, his body had gained something like an indestructible golden form.
Putting his body aside for the moment, Wang Li then looked at his martial soul. His Blue Silver Grass martial soul had undergone significant changes compared to before.
Previously, the Blue Silver Grass was sturdy and upright, but its form was not noticeably different from ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
This time, however, besides being sturdy and upright, it also appeared crystal-clear and translucent. At first glance, Wang Li almost didn't recognize it as his Blue Silver Grass martial soul.
Moreover, each stalk of Blue Silver Grass now had two fine, vein-like lines running along its center,one red, one blue,side by side.
Wang Li pulled a stalk closer and, after careful observation, suddenly realized:
"The ice poison of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the fire poison of the Blazing Apricot Grass seem to have permanently merged into my Blue Silver Grass martial soul. And it can still enhance its toxicity by absorbing ice and fire energy."
"I never added a poison attribute to my Blue Silver Grass martial soul. I didn't expect that, because of the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Grass, it ended up gaining both ice poison and fire poison. Since it's added, I can also use it as a tool in the future."
"Besides, this sturdy, upright, crystal-clear, and translucent Blue Silver Grass no longer looks like ordinary Blue Silver Grass. Even if it's not yet a Blue Silver Emperor, it should at least qualify as a Blue Silver King. This is a Blue Silver King evolved using the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Blazing Apricot Grass…"
Excited, Wang Li opened his panel:
[Host: Wang Li]
[Martial Soul: Blue Silver King Lv5 (Evolving)]
[Soul Power: Level 41 (94%)+]
[Attribute: Vitality Lv5 (Blue Silver Grass exists everywhere on the continent. Though weak, it has strong life force and can slowly recover from injuries.)]
[Passive: Tenacity Lv5 (What doesn't kill me makes me stronger. Any abnormal state that doesn't cause instant death will improve my physical constitution after recovery.)]
[Domain: Blue Silver Domain Lv1 (Owned, not activated due to insufficient mental power)]
[Soul Rings: First (equipped), Second (equipped), Third (equipped), Fourth (equipped)]
[Soul Bones: None]
[Combat Experience: 364488]
Wang Li's eyes lit up. Blue Silver King,this was a level-five Blue Silver Grass. Perhaps from level four or five, Blue Silver Grass officially enters the Blue Silver King category.
The Ice and Fire Immortal Grass was truly powerful, instantly helping him skip two levels, evolving from level three Blue Silver Grass to level five Blue Silver King.
Looking further, his soul power hadn't increased dramatically. Wang Li was slightly disappointed; the Ice and Fire Immortal Grass was mainly for body cultivation, not for boosting soul power.
But he didn't mind. Now, he could consume an immortal grass at any time, and if he wanted, he could raise his soul power to level fifty within a few days.
The key point was… he had activated the Blue Silver Domain. Just now, Wang Li clearly sensed his domain covering the entire valley. Both Dugu Bo and all the immortal grasses could be clearly detected by him.
From now on, he had a way to identify immortal grass. Though he couldn't know their names, he could directly perceive their abilities and medicinal properties.
However, it was "owned but not activated" due to "insufficient mental power." Wang Li frowned and thought:
"Normally, only a Soul King who has absorbed a fifth soul ring can achieve preliminary materialization of mental power. The opening and closing of the Blue Silver Domain just now weren't under my control. It's because my mental power isn't enough to establish a bridge of connection between myself and the domain."
"Mental power… doesn't necessarily require reaching Soul King level to materialize. One of the grasses just now must have been a mental power-enhancing grass. That should be the Gazing Dew!"
With this, all problems were resolved. Wang Li's mood improved greatly, and he finally opened the "Evolving" panel:
[Lv5 → Lv6 Life Origin (120/160)]
A smile curved Wang Li's lips. Absorbing the next ten-thousand-year soul ring should allow him to reach level six. Was level six the peak of Blue Silver King or the start of Blue Silver Emperor?
He wasn't sure, but he was very excited. Ten thousand years makes a king, one hundred thousand years makes an emperor. He was already a Blue Silver King, so the Blue Silver Emperor was no longer far away.
After closing the panel, Wang Li prepared to leave. Before going out, he used soul power to push aside the ice and fire spring water around him and changed into a new set of clothes using his storage soul tool.
His original clothes had been ruined by the ice and fire spring water, so he needed a replacement.
After changing, Wang Li activated his soul power to float to the surface.
Splash! Splash!
He jumped out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, sending a large spray of water. On the shore, he saw Dugu Bo and, using a boost from mid-air, jumped directly to his side.
"Grandpa, I told you I could succeed!"
Dugu Bo looked at Wang Li, who seemed unchanged yet had clearly undergone great changes. He was a little dazed but immediately asked:
"What just happened? That force field, that special force field,it seems to be related to your martial soul!"
Wang Li explained:
"My mutated martial soul mutated again. Those two Ice and Fire medicinal grasses just now activated the life force of my martial soul. That special force field is the domain,my Blue Silver Domain."
"However, my mental power isn't enough to control its opening and closing at will. But I sensed one of the grasses just now…"
As he spoke, Wang Li's eyes scanned the area. He soon found a small, inconspicuous light-green grass and pointed at it:
"This grass is the one. In the Blue Silver Domain, I sensed its abilities and medicinal properties. It can enhance mental power."
"As long as my mental power is sufficient, I'll be able to fully control the Blue Silver Domain. Within the domain, my soul power consumption will decrease, and my control over Blue Silver Grass will improve."
"Grandpa, my ability to suppress lethal poison has improved. Wait for me,I'll report to Sister Yan Yan and then return. I'll consume this grass to increase my mental power, fully master the Blue Silver Domain, and help you suppress the poison!"
Saying this, Wang Li ran out of the valley.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo stood there, even more dazed. A domain,a Blue Silver Domain,even the inherited martial souls of the top three sects didn't naturally possess a domain.
"Wang Li… to what extent has this child's Blue Silver Grass martial soul mutated?"
